Very nice, Don.

I don't remember ever seeing a dragonfly sporting that nice blue color.

Is that the old abandoned train station? What a nice photo. Maybe it's just my old unreliable eyes, but is everything leaning a couple of degrees to the right?

Lorell, I'm happy for your photo club that it is adding new members.

I like your photo: the white cows being in front of the dark ones adds a lot of depth to the image. Ell done.

Hi Rich.

I took a photo yesterday of a red ladybug on a green tomato and tried to correct its faults. But it's still a poor photo. Fortunately, as I was returning from another walk late this morning I somehow spotted a small spider on its web that stretched from one of my pots of tomato plants to another. I positioned myuself so that an orange pot provided a contrasting background. Processing was minimal: a crop, minor value adjustments, and mild USM on the spider. I estimate that the image is about 80% SOOTC.

It appears to be another orb weaver spider...
